Monks, Hot Sauce, and Peace in Arkansas | Little Rock News

Nestled in Arkansas, Subiaco Abbey is a 150-year-old Benedictine monastery where prayer meets hard work—and even hot sauce. Founded to support the railroad and German Catholic immigrants, it now hosts 30 monks, a renowned boys’ school, and popular retreats for peace seekers. Guests can stay for $65 plus meals, while the abbey runs a self-sustaining farm on 1,600 acres. But their secret weapon? Habanero peppers grown on-site, turning into their wildly popular Monk Sauce—their biggest seller and main export. It’s a quiet haven of stability, rhythm, and resilience in a chaotic world.
